Building your first agent dApp · 1/3
The minimal agent stack
A useful agent dApp has four layers: an LLM for reasoning (Claude via the Anthropic API), tools the model can call (price feeds, DEX quotes, contract reads), a constrained wallet for execution, and a human checkpoint for anything above a risk threshold.
Start read-only. An agent that watches positions and alerts you is valuable and safe. Add transaction powers only after you trust its judgment, and cap them hard.
